Madison’s feet ached almost as much as her heart did.

When she’d lived in Lovestruck, she’d walked pretty much everywhere in her trademark stilettos, and she’d been just fine. But setting her Jimmy Choo shoes back in Manhattan had been another story. Maybe it was all the steps leading up to the fourth floor walk-up she’d arranged to sublet from one of her old friends at Vogue who’d be gone to Paris Fashion Week for ten days, or maybe it was simply that everyone in the city walked at a much faster clip than they did in Vermont. Madison wasn’t sure. All she knew was that she’d been back in the Big Apple for less than a week and her heels were raw and bloodied.

Plus, she was so out of practice using a hair straightener that she’d already burned herself three times—most recently on the thumb of her right hand, which was wreaking havoc with her ability to tweet, Snapchat, Insta and post to all the other myriad social media outlets that she was responsible for in her new position.

New York hates me.

She stared blankly at the glass brick walls of her cubicle. Madison didn’t really believe New York hated her, but she was beginning to come to terms with a most inconvenient truth—the lifelong love affair she’d had with Manhattan just didn’t feel the same anymore. She’d gotten used to moseying down Main Street and sipping her maple latte on the way to work in the morning instead of cramming herself into the subway and jostling for sidewalk space. She missed waking up with a hairless dog curled up beside her and the clickety-clack of Aunt Alice’s knitting needles late into the night. Most of all, she missed Jack.

She missed him so much that she’d begun Googling the Lovestruck Fire Department’s webpage multiple times a day just to see his face. She’d gaze wistfully at his headshot until her cubicle mate—Felicity, Fashionista’s assistant beauty editor—would clear her throat, reminding Madison that she was supposed to be tweeting about the cape dress that Meghan Markle had just worn instead of daydreaming about the fireman she’d left behind.

“Who is he, exactly?” Felicity asked as she sashayed into their tiny shared space early Monday morning.

Madison blinked. She’d been daydreaming about her life back in Lovestruck—again—and hadn’t realized Jack’s chiseled features were lighting up her browser.

“Oh, um. No one, really.” She jammed at the escape key until he disappeared and the hot pink Fashionista logo took the place of his strong jaw and dreamy blue eyes.

“I just thought I’d ask since you’ve looked at his picture so much in the four days you’ve worked here.” Felicity winked at her as she lowered herself into her chair. Her lipstick was the same color as Jack’s fire engine, and the Chanel jumpsuit she had on probably cost more than Main Street Yarn made in an entire month. “Not that I blame you. He’s certainly hunky.”

“You should see his little girls. They’re six-month-old twins.” Madison
